After Yongzheng executed Nian Gengyao, how to deal with his wife and daughter?

At the end of Kangxi, there was a war between his sons for the throne, commonly known as "Nine sons seized the office". In order to win, Yong Zhengdi used many talents, including Nian Gengyao. But Nian Gengyao was very dissatisfied and was finally hacked with her. So why did Yong Zhengdi make such a decision, and how did Yong Zhengdi treat his children?

0 1 In order to stabilize the rule, Yong Zhengdi reused Nian Gengyao.

At the end of Kangxi, Prince Yin Yong became an abandoned child because of cronyism. Emperor Kangxi didn't want his brothers to kill each other, so he never set up a prince. But it also led to a drawback, that is, all his children thought they had a chance to become the next emperor.

Therefore, in order to gain the status of prince, Yongzheng and thirteen elder brothers formed the grandpa four party. Myna, Jiu Ge and Brother Ten formed the Eight Ye Party. Eldest brother and 14th brother formed the 14th Grandpa Party. Of course, there are princelings headed by the deposed Prince Yin Ren. In order to compete for the crown prince's position, these parties colluded with each other for personal gain.

After a series of infighting, Yong Zhengdi won. Yong Zhengdi just took office. In order to stabilize his position, he did not take measures in a big way, and he was very kind to his former enemies.

At that time, the northwest military was in an emergency, and many of his brothers were waiting to see Yong Zhengdi's jokes. Therefore, solving the northwest military affairs has become a top priority. In order to ensure the confidentiality of information and deal with military affairs quickly, Yong Zhengdi also set up a military department in the palace, which lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

In order to suppress the rebellion in Tibet, Yong Zhengdi launched the Nian Gengyao. Nian Gengyao became a scholar during the reign of Kangxi. Because of his excellent martial arts, he has been a governor in Sichuan and Shaanxi. At this time, Nian Gengyao was named the Northwest General and led his troops to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Nian Gengyao on the battlefield, like a god, can always come up with strategies that the enemy can't think of, and quickly put down the rebellion in Tibet and Qinghai, by the way. Nian Gengyao made great contributions to the maintenance of Yong Zhengdi's rule. After that, he was made a first-class public.

Yong Zhengdi cracked down on corruption, but Nian Gengyao committed crimes against the wind.

Yong Zhengdi is a famous diligent emperor. He basically gets up at four o'clock every day. After eating a little breakfast, he will begin to deal with government affairs and will not go to bed until eight or nine in the evening. His day is basically dealing with government affairs, and he has no time to care about those who are immersed in love. Therefore, Yong Zhengdi is not the kind of sentimental person played in "Empresses in the Palace".

Moreover, Yong Zhengdi is very clean and hates corruption. Because at the end of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi no longer liked to listen to other people's opinions because of his advanced age. He likes those who put in a good word in his ear. In order to reward these hypocritical villains, Emperor Kangxi's treasury became more and more empty.

So as soon as Yong Zhengdi took office, he solved the problem of empty treasury. Therefore, combating corruption has become the top priority of his work. So why did his goal shift to Nian Gengyao? What unforgivable mistakes did Nian Gengyao make?

The first reason is that Nian Gengyao is very corrupt and bureaucratic. For example, after the rebellion in Junggar was put down, the rest of Junggar gave him a lot of silver in order to get a chance to survive. By the way, I also gave him eight particularly beautiful Mongolian women.

Nian Gengyao doesn't care about the country at all, in order to get huge wealth. He even publicly declared that if he gave himself enough money, there would be no problem in arranging an official position for you. Selling officials has also become an important means for Nian Gengyao to collect money.

In these two ways, when Nian Gengyao was demoted, he even got a million taels of silver from his family. It can be seen that Nian Gengyao was the biggest corrupt official of the Qing government at that time, and this mistake was enough to cost him his life.

Disrespectful of the emperor and contemptuous of imperial power, Nian Gengyao was executed, implicating his family.

Not only that, Nian Gengyao made great contributions, but also ignored other officials and often humiliated them in court. Moreover, his sister married Yong Zhengdi and was always loved by the emperor. So he relied on himself as a relative of the country and often made demands on Yong Zhengdi.

For example, once, Nian Gengyao, who came back from the battlefield, wanted to see Yong Zhengdi. But Yong Zhengdi was too busy with government affairs to receive him in time, so he was asked to wait at the door for a while. Because China was an autocratic and centralized country in ancient times, there was a strict hierarchical boundary between emperors and ministers, which could not be crossed.

As a courtier, Nian Gengyao should stand outside and wait for the emperor. But he said that his leg was injured and he could not stand for long, so he asked the eunuch around the emperor to help him move a chair and sit directly at the gate of the palace. This is a contempt for imperial power and a disrespect for the emperor.

Nian Gengyao often pretends to be the eldest brother, thinking that Yong Zhengdi alone can stabilize the country. Therefore, he imitated the emperor everywhere. For example, he has many favorite concubines, and it is said that there are more than 80 concubines. Every night, he chooses one he likes like an emperor flipping a brand.

Moreover, his house is very luxurious, and many materials are taken from the palace. So, after Nian Fei died, Yong Zhengdi put Nian Gengyao to death.

After Nian Gengyao was executed, all his children were implicated. His eldest son was killed, the other sons became slaves, and then they were sent to distant frontier areas. His daughter was also demoted to a handmaiden and then sold to various government officials to serve them forever.

Fortunately, Nian Gengyao's descendants have changed their names and surnames in order to get rid of their relationship with Nian Gengyao. They reversed the year into life, took life as their surname and vowed never to touch politics.

04 abstract

Yong Zhengdi's measures to combat corruption have eliminated moths in many countries and enriched the national treasury. He's the one who connected Shi Sheng. It was he who led the people of China to the last peak of feudal society. He is an incorruptible emperor and deserves our praise.

Nian Gengyao was killed without any injustice. I think he deserves to die. Because in that traditional period, there were strict boundaries between emperors and ministers. This boundary cannot be easily broken. Nian Gengyao's violation of regulations should be severely punished.

Yong Zhengdi is very cruel to Nian Gengyao's children. He did this, first of all, because Nian Gengyao committed a heinous crime, unforgivable. The second reason is that in that era when there was no legal system, in order to protect themselves, the emperor often took measures to eradicate the root causes.
